What is This?


Unsaid,
It is intention,
Is it bliss?

Something,
Something on the inside,
Taking the form of you
I sing Terrified,

From the first time I saw your face,
Piercing eyes through my soul;
Of the held out hand,
In the rain,
Shimmer...

As the days go by,
Little did I know,
Less what I could see;
Then you were gone.

As if it was written among the stars,
Your smile greeted me then,
Lady Luck shone on me,
Fate sang her wicked tune.

I know not it was no more,
Though this brilliance shall linger;
Mirror "that" sonnet, this is for
Forever...

Bearing name for a saint,
I wonder when,
when will I ever see you again.

My Cooking

I think its safe to say that I can cook, well the food have been edible but I'm not sure how it would taste for other people...
 

This was a breakfast from one of the home-alone days.  Its the usual microwave-rice-egg-cake but with seaweed-paper thingy as the mold.  The sauce i made to go with it was tomato sauce with a dab of light soya sauce.  Definitely had the orient-western fusion taste.


And this was what I would say a western dinner?  However it was ate as lunch, =P 
This is the chicken chop, sauteed carrots and bak-choi cooked with chinese rice wine, extremely aromatic when done with alcohol.








 These are the baked potatoes, super easy to prepare and the skin is just...XD.  I learned a huge lesson baking these potatoes...  You MUST ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS wrap them in aluminium foil, otherwise you'll be in for one hell of a scrubbing...  I would've wanted to plate them together, but my house don't have that kind of big plate.




 Next up are noodles.  I can't take much credit from it, it was modified from instant noodles.  



Threw some veges, prawns... shitake mushroom and 鱼漂。  It was originally a packet of 高丽面, and I must say, the noodles are most amazing.  The noodle strings are thicker than most others and they are so smooth...  I guess that's why they are more expensive.





This was the second time I made these, not-so-special-hotdog-onions-garlic-basil combination.  Somehow, anything that smells like tomato and basil will induce Italian flavour, but what do I know about Italian cuisine.  


Soup, this specific one has minced meat with a type of vegetable that I don't know how to name...  It looks like a cabbage but its much longer.  Just pour in a little bit of vinegar and you've got an appetizing starter.  


Lastly, this is fried rice in its most traditional form.  Rice, stir-fried with char siew and frozen mixed veges... brings back so much memories...




I don't mind cooking, as long I have the time, but I don't like the cleaning that comes afterwords.  I've actually said to myself quite often that if I suck at books, I'll venture into culinary.  XD

Well, if you still haven't noticed, I've changed me blog template again.  Blogger really outdone themselves this time, much much more variety. 

Following my previous post, well I'm kinda obsessing about it, losing sleep, thinking too much, going crazy, imagining things.  Not healthy I must say, but on the bright side, post frequency has gone up!

I have a dream leh...
*sigh~!*

Well, you know, cooking is a passion of mine, but not the big big kind.  See my dad made this sweet potato soup or was it yam...because it was not sweet at all.  =.=''  I decided to switch it up a little.


This, does it look revolting? I mashed it up and added milk.  I call it... 奶玉(芋)/ Milk_Jade .  haha!
I wasn't satisfied with it, there were still many small rough pieces that I did not like in my soup.  I thought about sieving it, but then that seems like to much trouble so i just blended the whole thing. I ended up with


I call it Milk_Jade version 2.0.  XD

smooth...creamy...sweet...

 Urgh... I so hate this feeling, its like u saw a bomb explode a couple of miles away and the wave is heading your way, that feeling.  Agony? Anticipation? Definitely got contents of emo.

I so hate right now, basically this post is to mark this moment where I just found out something and the fact is honing me as I'm waiting for the wave to hit. 

I want good news leh...

Fuck...
